Goal: ride big stock rallies with 3x funds, but cut risk fast.<br>Switch: If the US bond market (BND) was up over ~11 weeks ⇒ Risk ON; if down ⇒ Risk OFF.<br>Risk ON: buy whichever of 3× S&P or 3× Nasdaq fell more lately (a simple “recent weakness” score). If volatility is high, sit in short‑term Treasuries.<br>Risk OFF: If long Treasuries are falling (rates rising) favor the dollar, commodities, and bearish/defensive ETFs; if rising, hold 3× long Treasuries plus other defensive funds. Rebalanced daily.
Rules aim to ride 3× S&P/Nasdaq in calm uptrends and quickly switch to Treasuries, dollar, commodities, or bearish ETFs when bonds weaken—seeking strong gains with smaller slumps. Daily rebalanced. K‑1‑free holdings.
Near-parity long-run upside to the S&P (~19.98% vs 20.57%), but with adaptive risk controls: bond-based risk-on/off, diversified hedges (dollar, commodities, Treasuries), daily rebalance, and a K‑1‑free structure for simpler taxes.
used 60d BND/BIL to go Risk on/ Risk off (ty HinnomTx and jss040292). fund surfing during Risk on. got rid of CTA use during risk off so we could further back test. i like the idea of CTA use (KMLM, DBMF, CTA) but severly limits backtesting. shorting treasury bonds protects against rising interest rates in 2018, 2022. best to benchmark this against "buy and hold" of the underlying 3x leveraged assets like SOXL/TQQQ/UPRO/TECL of the same time period. Michael B substituted Fund Surfing v2.0 in place of the previous fund surf and changed 60d BIL > 0%. V1.1 HinnomTX mods: Changed ON/OFF to BND 56d cumulative return > 0%. Fund Surf V2.1 chooses bottom 4 RSI, adds non-stock assets TMF, DBC, BTAL to reduce drawdown. Added UMDD, FAS, removed QQQ, SPY to improve returns. Changed TLT 20d test from cumulative returns to moving avg return. Fund surfing V2.2 lowers covid panic drawdown (thx Michael B!). removed TECS, too low daily volume. replaced XLP with 2x version UGE v2.2. 6/8/23 Replaced UMDD with URTY for higher trading volume, and dramatically changed Risk Off, Rising Rates logic.
